During the ADAC 24h Nürburgring endurance race at the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, a tragic accident occurred, leading to the death of Juha Miettinen, a 66-year-old driver. The crash involved seven cars, prompting immediate action from race control to halt the race for recovery and rescue operations. Despite the efforts of emergency services, Miettinen was pronounced dead at the Medical Centre after attempts to resuscitate him failed. Fortunately, the remaining six drivers involved were taken to the hospital and are reported to be in non-life-threatening condition. In response to the incident, Max Verstappen, the four-time Formula 1 champion, expressed his shock and condolences on Instagram, reminding fans of the inherent dangers of motorsport. A minute of silence will be held before the race on Sunday to honor Miettinen's memory. Verstappen, who was set to compete in a four-hour race, faced a three-place grid penalty, starting from ninth position.
